Additional Notes

The DE3175 is the sole dome light bulb type listed for the Nissan 210 across all documented model years, spanning 1979-1982.
The DE3175 follows the ANSI standard, meaning it conforms to a specification set recognized across the United States and Canada for consistent electrical and physical characteristics.
The DE3175 is a festoon-type bulb, a cylindrical form factor that seats horizontally within a spring-loaded or clip-style housing, held in place by contact pressure at each end rather than by a base socket.
The bulb operates at 12 volts, consistent with the standard electrical system voltage found in conventional passenger vehicles of that era.
At 31mm in length, the DE3175 represents one of the more common festoon sizes, though fitment depends on the housing accepting that specific length, as festoon bulbs of different lengths are not interchangeable even when they share the same contact style.
The end-cap contact design means electrical connection is made through metal caps at both ends of the bulb, which distinguishes it from bayonet or wedge-base bulb types that use different retention and contact methods.
